XP-21279 is a sustained-release levodopa (L-DOPA) prodrug and hence a dopamine precursor and non-selective dopamine receptor agonist which was under development for the treatment of Parkinson's disease.[4][1][3] It is taken by mouth.[1][2][3]
Pharmacology
The drug is said to add a five-carbon ester conjugate to levodopa that allows it to be actively transported by high-capacity nutrient transporters throughout the entire gastrointestinal tract.[2][3][5] Subsequently, it is rapidly converted into levodopa by carboxylesterases.[2][3][5] Levodopa itself can only be transported by a short section of the small intestine and hence XP-21279 allows more time for levodopa to be absorbed, in turn resulting in an increased duration and possibly reduced fluctuations in dopamine levels between levodopa doses.[1][2][3]
Clinical studies
As of June 2015, XP-21279 was in phase 2 clinical trials.[4] As of May 2022, there have been no further developmental updates.[4] It was reported in 2018 that development of the drug had been discontinued several years prior.[6] A 2019 review reported that results were conflicting in phase 2 trials and that this likely resulted in the discontinuation of the drug's development.[5]
Chemistry
Many sources do not report the chemical structure of XP-21279, suggesting that its exact structure has not been disclosed.[7][8][9][6][10] However, one source appears to report its chemical structure.[11]
